From UCHRONIA:
Borden, Morton. "1850: What If the Compromise of 1850 Had Been Defeated?"
Divergence: 1850 CE
What if: Zachary Taylor did not die in July 1850, and blocked Clay's great compromise.
Synopsis: The Civil War would have started 10 years early with Texas's invasion of New Mexico and ended in a quick southern defeat, but slavery would have continued.
Published: In Borden and Graham's Speculations on American History, q.v.
The North is deprived of over a decade of growth vis-a-vis the South, yet wins a quick victory when OTL it took over four years. Then we say "Oh well, just keep the slaves."
